FAWCO friend Hans Herren wins Right Livelihood Award

Hans R. Herren, one of the world’s leading experts on sustainable agriculture and twice keynote-speaker at FAWCO conferences, wins the Right Livelihood Award for his commitment to end hunger and poverty in our world. The president of Biovision Foundation is the first Swiss to be awarded this prize since its inception in 1980. The jury of the prize, also known as the alternative Nobel prize, said the decision to award Herren was based on “his expertise and pioneering work in promoting safe, secure and sustainable global food supply”.  Biovision was the recipient of FAWCO's fundraising for the Malaria (2005-2008).
